Description 

Start at the same spot as Just Do Me but at the small overlap clip a bolt and move right. I might have placed a small cam in the crack before making the reach to the first bolt.

Make some strenuous and balancy moves, utilizing the corner to your left and arete to your right. After that is some easy climbing up a slab. I recall one of the bolts here having a very loose nut that was barely holding the hanger on. I tightened it back down with my fingers. You'll also want to probably extend some of the bolts through this section to decrease rope drag.

The difficulty picks up again after you pass a roof and finishes with steep and technical moves leading to the anchor. A fun sport route with varied climbing.

Protection 

9 bolts, 2 bolt anchor/rap
